2 Introduction The Origin of Dynaudio Acoustics Dynaudio was founded in Denmark in 1977 with a focus on Hi-fi speakers. After experiencing overwhelming interest from the professional audio market, Dynaudio decided to establish a subsidiary in The new company, named Dynaudio Acoustics, was to focus 100% on designing monitors for the professional audio market. In 1999 Dynaudio Acoustics entered into a stra t e g i c alliance with TC Electronic. Since then a major leap forward has been taken within the sphere of professional monitors, due especially to the sharing of knowledge between the two companies. Today Dynaudio Acoustics stands at the pinnacle of monitor development, not just in performance but also in the areas of calibration and networking.

3 Dynaudio Core Technology Craftsmanship and Originality Most monitors rely on the simplest of electromagnetic principles. By passing current through a coil in the presence of a magnetic field, a force is generated. As a result, the driver is one of the most vital parts of a monitor and so we chose to focus on the research and development of unique driver technology and to improve upon every element of the conventional designs. Furthermore we chose to avoid the use of conventional technologies like compression drivers, horns and metal domes. Instead, we make use of ultra-lightweight aluminum wire and aluminum voice coils, which make it possible to reduce the mass of the voice coil and increase the diameter and length at the same time. Naturally this has a dramatic positive impact on the dynamic range. The unusual choice of pure aluminum for the voice coils is one of the outstanding features of Dynaudio driver technology. Thanks to the tremendous weight advantage compared to conventional designs based on the heavier copper alternative, we can achieve larger diameters and more windings of the coil enabling greater linear movement and high reliability, without any compression. Reliability and Quality A very intense test program maintains Dynaudio Acoustics world-renowned standard of high quality and reliability. Every single Dynaudio Acoustics driver is thoroughly tested with more than 100 quality checks from raw materials to finished systems. Quality is the primary objective in the making of Dynaudio Acoustics monitor systems. The time used on each driver is on average 15 times longer c o m p a red to speaker manufacture rs in general. We guarantee that any Dynaudio Acoustics driver anywhere will match our demanding requirements for a lifetime of regular use. Listening to the Sum of Details Every Dynaudio monitor is the sum of the many details that have been carefully designed and developed through more than 20 years of experience and innovative thinking. But when it comes to the listening situation, it is the sum of all these details, the synerg y of every single part, that produces the final result. That is exactly where Dynaudio Acoustics products are second to none.

6 AIR Series - Integration and Control Integrated Solutions AIR Series goes far beyond conventional monitor performance in terms of sound, operation and thinking. An AIR system provides a complete and integrated solution for critical monitoring. It consists of a number of intelligent components that communicate through a network - in stereo as well as in multichannel systems. All components in an AIR system are connected through the TC Link n e t w o r k and distribute control information as well as audio in-between all system components. This enables controlling a multi-channel system from the sweet-spot using the AIR Remote or the AIR Soft. The Essence of Central Control When working with wide dynamic range audio, it is essential to control volume at the latest possible stage to assure minimum noise and maximum resolution at all times. Any AIR remote provides exactly that, because the TC-Link network allows each of the speakers to be controlled right before the physical speaker: Outstandingly low noise, perfect tracking across multiple channels, and the ability to control the level regardless of the condition of the surrounding equipment. Additionally, the three storable reference levels, presets, and mute/solo functionality allow the user to always get a predictable performance from the AIR system. AIR features three different options of central remote control: AIR-Soft, AIR PC Installers Package (PC-IP), and the AIR Hardware Remote. Utilizing the AIR Hardware Remote, adjustments are always at hand, so the operator maintains control over levels regardless of the DAW or computer state. Multichannel - For Film, Post and Music Global level central control of the overall level in multichannel systems securing calibrated predictable loudness Recall relative levels or filtering for each monitor Program specific presets customize the AIR setup to the individual application Bass Management set the specific crossover frequency and levels at a flick of a button Enable/disable X-curve target responds simulating behind screen frequency responds Stereo Monitoring Solutions The direct digital input makes AIR an obvious choice for any digital studio seamless DAW to AIR connectivity. The option slot may be equipped to accept analog or up to 192 khz dual wire signals, and source selection can be controlled through preset changing. Link a nearfield and midfield set of AIR monitors (e.g. AIR 6 & AIR 25), share the input source and A-B between the two at the flick of a switch.
